The vulture’s wrinkled and scowley glower
Is the winged marker of slow demise
Frankenstein design to make you cower
alive to survive hot amongst your cries
The powerful legs with maladroit claws
gait ungainly loping crooked intent
Black feathers reflect unnatural laws
Red ringéd eyes to be blind to repent
No more efficient machine ever built
Dirty worker of nat’ral selection
Smooth skin to revel in the blood that’s spilt
Hooked beak that will not stoop for reflection
Awesome efficiency in its function
Between life and death a creul conjunction
Well, I may have underestimated the sonnet challenge somewhat. I am just getting my head around how to put one together properly. Researching sonnets I reaslise its a little more complex than I initially thought. Go sonnet boy! xDells
